A U.S. Appeals Court has ruled that the State cannot force Christian filmmakers to express messages contrary to their faith and conviction. Two years ago a Minnesota court ruled that Telescope Media Group, a Christian film company run by husband and wife team, Carl and Angel Larsen, was in violation of the state’s Human Rights Act. According to the court, the Act essentially compelled the parents of eight to use their creativity and services to create films celebrating homosexuality and same-sex marriage, contrary to their faith and conviction. At the time, Alliance Defending Freedom claimed: State officials have categorically, publicly,…

In a speech on Tuesday night, One Nation MP, Mark Latham, joined a growing chorus of opposition voicing their concerns over the poor process applied to the recent NSW abortion bill. Latham joins Liberal MP Natasha Maclaren-Jones, the National Party’s, Barnaby Joyce and Dr David Gillespie, in criticising the rushed bill, deceptively called ‘The Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill’.

The MP responsible for introducing the bill was “Independent” member for Sydney, Alex Greenwich, whose candidacy (for context) was backed by Leftist golden girl, and…

Examiners in the UK failed a 16-year-old vegetarian student for making Islamophobic remarks criticizing the Islamic ritual slaughter of animals. Abigail Ward of Gildredge House school in Eastbourne, East Sussex, was disqualified from her General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exam after the examination board accused her of committing a “malpractice offence” by making “obscene racial comments… throughout an exam paper.” According to The Telegraph, however, the student had only once remarked that she found Halal Islamic ritual slaughter practices “disgusting”. The schoolgirl’s mother, Layla Ward, accused the examiner of being “over-zealous” and  “over-righteous”, saying her daughter is “an animal lover…

Thousands of Australians gathered at Martin Place in Sydney on Tuesday evening to take a stand for the unborn and ‘be a voice for the voiceless’. The ‘Stand for Life‘ rally was organised in response to the Reproductive Healthcare Reform Bill 2019, which last week passed the lower house 59 to 31. The bill will essentially throw open the doors to late-term abortion, on-demand, by any method, no matter how abhorrent, up to 22 weeks. Beyond that point, right up until birth, all that is required for an abortion is the consent of two abortion doctors. It’s estimated that at…

Just weeks away from what’s sure to be a roiling State Council meeting, the realisation is dawning that Gladys Berejiklian is not the party leader Liberals are looking for. Anger is also growing, especially amongst socially conservative members, with the feeling they were deceived into helping her get elected only to implement radically ‘progressive’ policies much of the party opposes. It was not the leadership of Gladys Berejiklian which remarkably wrested likely government from the New South Wales Labor Party at that election. Far more significant was a simple question from Senator Eric Abetz which resulted in the resignation of Labor Leader,…

It has been decreed from on high that these awards are no longer to be called the ‘best and fairest awards’ but the ‘those who made the most impact awards’. Now that the Bledisloe Cup for 2019 has been decided, the winners can be congratulated, in terms of their contribution to the All Black victory: 1. Three points to Raelene Castle. Her contribution to the All Black victory was invaluable. Having left Bulldogs in her wake, she now leaves Wallabies in the same condition.

Along with concerns around late-term abortion, the general public are greatly concerned by the issue of sex-selection abortion. While the NSW Legislative Assembly rejected an amendment to ban sex-selection abortions, they included in their draft Bill, a statement of disapproval of the practise. Many abortion advocates are strenuously denying that sex-selection abortion occurs in Australia, yet there is both anecdotal and research evidence that it does.  Phillip Goldstone, Director of Marie Stopes, one of Australian’s largest abortion providers, in his submission to the Inquiring Committee, says: We do not support the inclusion of gender selection in the Bill and we…

In 1981 42 per cent of the world lived in extreme poverty earning less than $700 USD per year. Today that number is less than 10%. Economists studying this decline have discovered that open borders immigration and wealth redistribution has not been the solution, but rather the classical conservative solution of small government: reducing the regulation burden. Data from 189 economies shows that increasing business creation has a correlating decrease in the levels of poverty in each nation. Government is not the answer to personal and social problems. Individual responsibility and liberty are what actually empowers and lifts citizens out…

A top US abortionist has left a BBC reporter lost for words after admitting he has no problem killing “babies.” Life Site News shared a short portion of the interview between reporter Hilary Andersson and abortionist LeRoy Carhart, which was filmed at a Maryland abortion clinic in July for a thirty-minute segment titled America’s Abortion War.

Covington student, Nicholas Sandermann’s $250 million defamation case against The Washington Post was dismissed late last month, after a federal judge ruled that the Washington Post hadn’t slandered Sandermann in its reporting of the infamous, so-called “standoff” between himself and Native American, Nathan Phillips on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Saurabh Sharma of the Dailycaller said the “judge threw out the case” saying that The Washington Post didn’t defame the Covington students, but were irresponsible with their use of “loose, figurative,” and “rhetorical hyperbole”. [i] This is despite The Washington Post, along with some Twitter users and others within…

The UK-based online magazine was promptly criticised for sharing the short video on social media on Wednesday, in which Kayleb, 22, claims his relationship with Mark, 55, began six years ago when Kaleb was just 16-years old. “Our age difference is 33 years,” Kayleb said in the video. “He is 55 and I am 22.

Iran’s Minister of Intelligence has warned a gathering of Shia Muslim leaders that mass conversions to Christianity are taking place right across the country. According to Article 18, a nonprofit organisation that advocates religious freedom in Iran, Mahmoud Alavi told the Shia clerics who had gathered in Qom that mass conversions are “happening right before our eyes.” Alavi went on to admit that he had summoned converts to Christianity for questioning, in violation of Article 23 of Iran’s constitution, which states that “no-one may be molested or taken to task simply for holding a certain belief.” “Some [of the converts]…

In her 1981 magnum opus, ‘Public Man, Private Woman’, American political scientist and Lutheran, Jean Bethke Elshtain presented a painstaking analysis of feminism. Her work as a political theorist is one of the best all-rounded academic introductions to the origins and branches of feminism, which comes from within the feminist movement. Elshtain is best described as a classical feminist. Although she accepts certain criticisms made by feminists, Elshtain is honest about the fact that feminism can, and does go too far. Her chief aim was to present the ideological nuances and obvious contrasts of each branch of feminism. What makes…

The Treasurer of New South Wales delivered a powerful speech last week in response to the Reproductive Healthcare Reform Bill 2019. The bill, which passed the lower house 59 to 31, would essentially throw open the doors to late-term abortion, on-demand, by any method, no matter how abhorrent, up to 22 weeks, as Dr David Van Gend pointed out. Beyond that point, right up until birth, all that is required is the consent of two abortion doctors. In his speech, Dominic Perrottet MP pointed out that the worst parts of our history have come from a refusal to recognise the…

Footage uploaded to social media shows an adult male dressed in drag, teaching young children “how to twerk”, by sticking their “bums out” and moving them “up and down.” The video was reportedly taken at a Drag Queen Story Time event, a new trend where men dressed in drag read children’s books to young kids at local libraries and schools. I mean, it’s just grown men, dressed as sexualised women, reading children’s stories to young kids, right? What could possibly go wrong? When the man in the video asks his young audience if anyone knows how to “twerk”, he begins…
